HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  Our beloved planet Earth has completed yet another fateful journey around the sun and we’re ready to celebrate! GO EARTH!!  WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!

TONIGHT if you are in the mood for some fine food and some live music to go along with the evening’s festivities, I might suggest dropping into Pinocchio’s in Three Rivers!
This little restaurant produces some really wonderful Italian fare and I will be set up in the bar playing and singing from 7p – 10p!

Whatever you end up doing this evening, BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

If you’re thinking about going out to have a beer or a bite to eat this weekend, consider stopping by Paddy’s Irish Pub in Springfield or the Hofbrauhaus in West Springfield!

I will be playing and singing acoustic covers at Paddy’s on Friday night from 6pm – 9pm..

..and you can find me at the Hofbrauhaus on Saturday night starting at 7pm and going until 9pm.

I’ll be performing my usual mix of pop/country/indie/classic rock with maybe a few Christmas tunes thrown in.. maybe.

See you there!

Hi everyone!

I’m VERY EXCITED to announce that coming VERY SOON is my first ever, professionally recorded & produced, self-titled CD!

We are currently in production and I should have all the duplicated copies back and ready for sale within about two and half weeks!

On it you will find a varied mix of covers of several of my favorite songs, recorded at Swamp Guinea Studios with the help of the very talented and accomplished A.J. Rubino, who provided me with back up vocals as well as lead guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and pedal steel, among other instruments.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please send me a message and I will get one to you!  Otherwise rest assured that I will have them physically on hand at all of my gigs.
Thank you and have a wonderful holiday!

Yours,

Merrill Shepard
